Rack Positions
Each oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks. All ovens have six
rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position
1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed
and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional
baking, DO NOT use more than one rack at a time. It is also
recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in
positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking
vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is
not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels with commercial
cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware,
yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on
the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.
Note: When using big pots, it is recommended to use the front
elements. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup of rear
of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The range has four hot surface indicator lights. They are
located in the center of the glass rangetop. The hot surface
